Celtic have been fined over 'provocative' anti-monarchy banners displayed by their fans at a Champions League match last month less than a week after the Queen's death.

One banner spotted among the Hoops' section of the ground in their match against Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk in Poland on September 14 stated 'F**k the crown'.

Another read 'Sorry For Your Loss Michael Fagan,' a reference to a man who broke into the Queen's bedroom in 1982.

The Scottish champions have been fined 15,000 euros (just over £13,000) by UEFA's control, ethics and disciplinary body over what was described as 'a message not fit for a sporting event (ie a provocative banner)'.
